Diving into Sadie Nix's latest release "Maze," we were immediately captivated by its sheer energy.


New to this artist, we were struck by how the opening of the song instantly grabs your attention. The intro is a breath of fresh air, with Sadie’s voice taking center stage, almost untouched by the music, except for subtle synths that create just the right amount of space. It's an incredible showcase of her vocal talent, delivering a piercing, raspy, yet soaring performance that feels both intimate and powerful. It’s the kind of introduction that pulls you in, making you feel as though you’re right there with her, experiencing every note.


Then came the lyrics: 


“You said I broke your heart, but did I? Or was it you with all your untrue?” 


In that moment, we knew exactly where this track was heading, and it was clear the song would take us on an emotional ride.


As the beat enters, it’s punchy and groovy, bringing a driving energy that immediately adds strength to the song. The rhythm pushes forward with a confident, empowering feel, there’s no doubt this track is about self-assertion and feeling good.


The energy then shifts, creating a subtle fade as Sadie goes into a more powerful, almost spoken delivery. And when the song reaches its climax, you can’t help but want to throw your arms in the air, dance, and sing along, it’s the kind of release that feels like pure freedom.


And then, when we hear the line: 


So tell me, baby, what’s a girl supposed to do when I’m stuck in a maze with you?”, it’s absolutely electric.


What makes this track stand out even more is how Sadie’s voice becomes its own instrument, blending seamlessly into the music rather than simply sitting atop it. By the time the chorus hits, her vocals and the arrangement are perfectly in sync, creating a unified, high-energy experience. As the song builds, there’s an undeniable excitement that makes the support vocals feel perfectly placed, adding just the right touch to keep the momentum going.


The engineering on this track is top-notch. Every element comes through with incredible clarity, allowing the vocals to stand front and center. It creates an exciting, immersive listening experience. The mix and mastering are equally impressive, making it effortless to distinguish each instrument while maintaining a seamless flow, where everything blends perfectly together.
